to move in with SIL?

[BrightRed]

Regular but namechanger... Do I really have to type the list?

Firstly a bit of background. I was widowed fairly young and have a small DS. This isn't about the bereavement, although obviously that was a major life event, but I am coping well and moving on.

The thing is I live in the back of beyond at the family home and I want to get out and have a decent social life again. SIL, who lives in a big city, wants me to come and live with her. Her DH is away most of the time (in the forces) and she wants the company. We're a bit like chalk and cheese - I'm quite sociable and would be wanting to get out quite a bit, she's more of a curl-up-with-a-book sort of woman.

There is another complication. Way back (when we were single) I sort of threw myself at SIL's husband. He politely let me down and told me he was in love with her - and I went on to marry my DH. I still think he might fancy me a bit though. But in any case, he's not going to be around most of the time.

WWYD?

Well done Maryz - wow she really was a mean bitch (certainly at the beginning) wasn't she.

[SinicalSal]

Means someone is looking for attention Eric

[BrightRed]

Maryz - I was starting to feel guilty that it was being taken seriously so started to get more outrageous. I don't think I'd make a good troll. It's MardyBra btw/.

Is this another spoof thread on Gone With The Wind? Is it popular enough for that to be funny once, let alone twice? I've never watched it...

[BrightRed]

Yes, stillfrazzled very good.

Didn't know there was another spoof thread Eric.

[stillfrazzled]

Sorry, that brought out my inner competitive 6yo .

Was v good OP.

[worraliberty]

Ok so it's a spoof but I still don't get it?

[sausagesandmarmelade]

I think she is being very generous....

What is his opinion of you moving in?

Am inclined to think you shouldn't....could cause problems.

[sausagesandmarmelade]

oh of course...it's the weekend!

[worraliberty]

Oh right thanks Maryz I've never seen it

[BrightRed]

Maryz - I recently reread it and DD read it for the first time. The racism is appalling but obviously part of the fabric of the society at the time. I did point that out to DD when read it.
We also had a chat about Scarlett's character - how she is often perceived as a great romantic heroine but that she is very flawed and how she develops through the book (and how she has some redeeming characteristics).

[BrightRed]

I thought the user name would give it away much more quickly.

[LadyBeagleEyes]

I knew it was a spoof as I read further into the thread but didn't work out Gone With The Wind till Maryz spotted it .
I love Scarlett BTW, she wasn't very nice, but she was tough , unlike the wimpy Melanie or her sisters.

Thanks to those who took the time to reply seriously though (feeling guilty about winding people up now). Bloody hell - I'd make a shit troll.
